Other food retailers are working to pass savings on to their customers this summer. Last week, Amazon Fresh announced that it will offer greater savings for customers shopping both in-store and online as it lowers prices on a rotating selection of products.
Target is also lowering prices on more than 5,000 products throughout its stores. Price cuts have already gone live on 1,500 food, beverage and household essential items, with more price cuts planned throughout the summer.
Additionally, ALDI is passing along $100 million in savings to its customers through Labor Day by dropping prices on more than 250 already discounted items. The price drop will nearly double savings from last year, building on the retailer's announcement last May that it was reducing prices on products to save shoppers more than $60 million.
